Meet the team

We’re the Philanthropy and Alumni Relations Office, known collectively as the Advancement Office. Contact us to find out more about how we can help you connect with each other – or if you can help the University and our current students. We’re here to help, we like hearing from you – and we want your feedback!

Campus tours

Want to visit the Colchester campus – perhaps as part of a reunion? We have a small group of student ambassadors who can give visiting alumni guided tours. They normally take about an hour and usually take place on weekdays. Please email us to enquire or book.

Any questions...?

We’ve put together a list of some of the questions we get asked the most, so have a look through just in case yours is one of them. If not, scroll down to see which one of us is best placed to answer your query.
